Cell things
Across
- 2. a substance within a chromosome consisting of DNA and protein.
- 4. A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell.
- 6. any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus.
- 7. one of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome
- 11. the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell.
- 12. paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope.
- 14. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
- 16. the initial stage of mitosis and of the mitotic division of meiosis characterized by the condensation of chromosomes consisting of two chromatids
- 17. the process by which one cell physically divides into two cells
- 18. the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring
- 19. a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code
Down
- 1. the final stage of mitosis and of the second division of meiosis in which the spindle disappears and the nucleus reforms around each set of chromosomes.
- 3. a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell
- 5. the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase, during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
- 8. the interval between the end of one mitotic or meiotic division and the beginning of another.
- 9. a usually round part of most cells that is enclosed in a double membrane, controls the activities of the cell
- 10. the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.
- 13. that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions
- 15. the stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle.
